No. Jet fuel is closely related to kerosene and diesel fuel.
jet and/or rocket propelled aircraft{jet/rocket}.
Jet engines and rockets are different means of propulsion. A jet engine takes in air, compresses it and mixes it with vaporized fuel. The air fuel mixture is ignited and produces thrust out the rear of the engine. A rocket uses fuel wich is burned and produces thrust with no air intake. Rocket fuels can be solid, liquid or compressed gas.
Fuel : for example - kerosene (= jet fuel), alcohol, hydrogen.
No
A jet engine takes oxygen from the air to burn with its fuel. A rocket engine has to take oxygen or some comparable oxidizer with it.
Well, to start with, a rocket creates thrust by expelling combusted fuel out the back of an opening in the tank or fuel container. The thrust is created by the chemical reaction you might call an explosion. A jet engine uses fans and multiple levels of chambers to compress air which it sucks in the front and blows out the back with greater force. A jet engine sucks oxygen from the air and combusts it with fuel carried in a tank. A rocket engine carries both fuel and oxygen in separate supply tanks and does not require an external oxygen source. For this reason jet engines can only operate inside the Earth's atmosphere, whereas rocket engines can operate outside of the atmosphere. == == == ==
The jet engines used jet fuel, not gasoline as the 6 main engines did.
Answer The Space Shuttle is a rocket. By definition, a Rocket is a vehicle that burns gas that it carries with it. Where as, a jet airplane burns the oxygen from the air and is not a rocket. The Rocket when it is launched has a liquid fuel rocket engines at the back end of it. It also has two long, solid fuel rocket engines that separate after launch. But the space shuttle is pulled by a rocket.
I run my car on jet fuel so its the same price as diesel - - - - - Go to airnav.com to find fuel prices in your area.
A rocket explodes and a jet doesnt.
They both have fuel. They both have to be stable. And they both have a nozzle.
Flight Captain Erich Warsitz flew the world's first jet aircraft (Heinkel He 178) on 27 August 1939, as well as the first-ever liquid-fuel rocket aircraft (Heinkel He 176) in June of the same year.
